Dropbox Cloudstorage Archive Folder

[Timmy G]

I recently noticed this Dropbox Cloudstorage Archive Folder. Is this a necessary folder or could it be redundant?

Hi @Timmy G, and thanks for posting on our forum!

May I ask for a few more details first? For example, when did you notice this folder on your computer? Did you notice it after any kind of update? 

Also, what’s the app version that your Dropbox app is currently running on your device? 

Let me know, and we’ll take it from there.

Good morning Nancy. Thank you for offering to help.

I first noticed it this week when I was having some Alfred trouble. I opted out of the beta, went to make files available offline, and uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox. I fixed Alfred in the process and then I noticed this folder. I'm running version Dropbox v173.2.5609

Hi @Timmy G,

This folder contains the content of your Dropbox at the time you opted out of the beta. If you didn’t have any local changes, this folder contains redundant information. If you had local edits that hadn’t synced up, those edits would appear in that folder.

Regards,

Ben
